Rachael and her peeps.

Dr. Hughes loves his new hat.

He was really tired and I will be surprised if he remembers we were there. It was a good visit and I honestly wish we lived closer because I would enjoy having him and his family over for dinner sometime. He's a good guy and pretty much as goofy as this picture suggests. Fah-reaking brilliant but goofy. I like that in a kid's cancer doc.

We got to meet Grace and her family and as soon as the grown-ups got out of the way the girls hit it off wonderfully.

I think Rachael really liked being the older, more experienced girl for the first time but mostly I think she just liked Grace. Two normal, happy little girls. With matching scars.

Please keep little Grace in your prayers as her family prepares to start high-dose interferon. She had her lymph node dissection and they all came back clear. She had a little sentinel lymph node that worked very hard for her body and her parents get to breathe a little easier now that she is officially No Evidence of Disease!

"Self Portrait with Cell Phone"

My husband Tom and I have been married 12 years. We have two kids, Marc and Rachael and were firmly planted in the "bad stuff doesn't happen to us" camp. On September 10, 2009 we were told that our 5-year old daughter's "most likely nothing but needs more attention" mole is an extraordinarily rare stage 3 melanoma.
Her life is most likely not threatened as we caught it early and her long-term prognosis is really excellent. However, the journey back to full health we have been told will be a long one. This blog will attempt to follow that journey for our whole family.
